Here are the chips my parents brought back from Vegas. My parents said that most places were very pleasant to deal with and most looked for good chips for them. I think my favorite of the bunch is the Mandalay Bay chip. For the Chipco chips I like the Luxor and Paris chips. For the ABS/Bud Jones style chips I like the Stardust and The New Frontier. For some reason I like the two brown chips, Orleans and the Barbary Coast. I like the Wynn chips and the $5 Caesars. I love the MGM Grand inlay and the simplicity of the Riviera. For the inlay's I like the smooth ones over the textured. For the shock of all shocking news I think I like the light blue $1 chips the best. There are not any real horrible looking ones but I do not care for the Flamingo, The Venetian, Hilton and Sahara. I would take the Imperial over those.
Below are chips with different graphics on both sides.
- 1. Paris [list
6499af8b]This chip is a Chipco and is in very good shape. It was designed with the white ring we know and love. It has 2 dark blue spots with the $1.00 on the spot. This chip does not seem to have any texture.
2. Rio
- This is a classic Paulson chip. One note about this chip is that inlay is smooth.
3. Circus Circus
- This chip is a Chipco and is in very good shape. This chip has a very light texture to the surface. There are 3 red spots which of course do not line up with the face spots. In the white spots on the edge ther is just a 1.
4. Caesars Palace Gaming Token
- This is a metal $1 gaming token. Smaller than the clay chips and very heavy.

Below is a very good new 5$ chip from Caesars Palace I am putting this at the top becasue the mold does not look like it was fully pressed on one side. This looks like it is a Paulson house mold (correct me if I am wrong). The inlay on this chip is textured.
- This side seems fine
The column on the top of the picture does not seem to have the deatail that the others do.
